A pile of dishes by the kitchen sink

no energy to wash them I’m trying to think

trying to remember, trying to see

the last time we were intimate the last time we were happy

you have your life with its crazy parts

I have mine filled with travel and conceptual art

but together when we meet there’s always the us

extreme fun, lots of loving and minimum fuss

we need our separation for our egos to work

but just recently not seeing you really hurts

I’ve missed you more than I ever thought could happen

my mind constantly side tracked to when we meet again

I can’t go on wondering if things will change

if you are free spontaneously, or if plans can be rearranged

so let’s commit or put a framework to our future in place

so my heart stops it’s painful yearning and I more regularly kiss your face
